SLEEVE HOLDER.

Application filed July This invention relates to a sleeve-holder forshirt-sleeves. The object of this invention is to wear the shirt-sleevesshortened in a most simple manner, in wrist-bands.

Hitherto elastic order to save the bands are made use of for suchpurpose, but these elastic bands have the disadvantage, that they firmlyembrace the arm and produce a burdensome effect.

To overcome said disadvantage I have provided a sleeve-holder consistingof a flat clasp, which is bent from wire. The opposite shanks of theclasp are formed as a ring in the middle.

The new sleeve-holder is illustrated on the accompanying drawing by wayof example. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself merely tothe details of construction as shown, but that the scope of my inventionextends to whatever construction may be defined or included within theterms or language of the appended claim.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the sleeve-holder.

Figure 52 is a perspective view of the sleeveholder, when it is inpractical use.

The sleeve-holder consists of a flat clasp, which is bent "from elasticwire, the clasping shanks Z), I) lying tightly opposite to one an- 7,1927, Serial No. 204,000, and in Germany May 5,

other. In the middle of the clasp each shank so s bent to a semicircle,both halves completing one another to a circular ring a, the oppositehalves of which are connected by a ball at each end.

In this way the clasp ends in the grip on both sides of said ring. inThe described sleeve-holder will be employed in the following manner:

The clasp, which forms the sleeve-holder, is laid lengthwise on theshirt-sleeve. Then the shirt-stuff is drawn through the ring andthereafter in the lateral grips.

In this manner the stuii' having been drawn up will be held in the gripswithout any damage. The shirt-sleeves may be shortened by means of thedescribed sleeve-holder to any desired degree.

Having now particularly described my said invention, I declare that whatI claim is A sleeve holder consisting of a fiat clasp, which is bentfrom thin elastic wire, the opposite halves of which are bent to asemicircle in the middle and are connected by a ball at each end.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my 55 name to this specification.
